Comments on the following newsitem
It seems that the WUs in the queue right now will not run correctly, so we are going to cancel all of the current WUs and give credit to the WUs which have already been completed. Then, we will enable the new WU generator. Make sure to update your BOINC client so that you don't accidentally crunch WUs that have been canceled.

I am confused - this morning when I check my PC I found this message at the Boinc Manager:

21.03.2008 07:41:21|Cosmology@Home|Sending scheduler request: To report completed tasks. Requesting 0 seconds of work, reporting 1 completed tasks
21.03.2008 07:41:26|Cosmology@Home|Scheduler request succeeded: got 0 new tasks
21.03.2008 07:41:26|Cosmology@Home|Message from server: Completed result wu_030908_200330_0_0 refused: this result wasn't sent (not needed)

Also I read the announcement to update the Boinc but........ the info was to short to react on it. So I lost the complete credit on my WU and this is not the first time.

I am a little bit angree about this. Sorry.

Suggestion - maybe you can make announcement by date and time - for me it comes over night and I had no chance to react.

Hello Inais.
You should report that in the Cosmo forum.
Normally you should get credit for the completed WUs, even if they were cancelled.
If not, then there's something wrong and Scott has to watch about it.
